For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I was bulimic for a time several years ago and then again more recently. I still have the urge, and occasionally give in to it, even now. It sounds a bit of a cliche, but as I gained more control over my life, it became easier to manage the bulimia. Just like self-harming in other forms, it relieves the internal pressure temporarily - then, of course, you feel bad about having harmed yourself again. There are no right or wrong answers, and no easy ones either - the whole subject is so complicated, and so incredibly individual, that it's hard to even make general statements that apply to most, let alone all, sufferers. I got a hold on the problem when I got help from an excellent psychotherapist.
